A spokesperson from Crimestoppers said: “Historically, the crimes that tend to increase over Christmas are domestic abuse, drink driving, fraud and forgery, and handling stolen goods.”

“None of these are victimless crimes, and the knock-on effect on families and communities can be severe.”

“This is why we would always urge anyone with information to come forward to Crimestoppers, 100 per cent anonymously, safe in the knowledge that no-one will ever know who you are so you will never have to give a statement or go to court.”
